  - By that argument, we shouldn't be outraged if you are killed by a terrorist bomb tomorrow. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 05:48 1
    - I'm in a country where rule of law holds. So, yeah, someone goes extra-judicial here, I'll be outraged. In Yemen where law barely exists and AQ runs - TWuG Dec 16, 06:01
